How do I choose colours or plan a project?
This is a question I get a lot. And it’s a good one. Unfortunately I don’t really have a good answer. I have what's called a "stash". Lots of yarn of various weights, materials and colors. I have them separated by size or thickness as well as type of material. It is...
Colour is life!
Colour is life! To borrow slightly from Danny Rosas, the effervescent footballer from Ted Lasso. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend. Anyway for me this is true. While in Costa Rica recently I took note of some beautiful colour combinations. At one point my...
What Do You See?
I’m looking around me, I’m sure we all do that. But do you really look? Closely I mean. Look at the textures, the colors, the organic shapes. I was lucky when I first thought about this. Lucky to have missed a late spring snowstorm for the blistering heat of a Costa...
Delightful Surprises
Do you enjoy surprises? Many are good! We had a surprise this month. My new great nephew arrived a month early. All are well! However, the baby wrap I was planning had to be finished rather quickly! This was the first time that I used all 24 shafts on the new...
A Lesson in (Colour) Value
Value. No, not as in money although that might be a good lesson for another day! I mean value as in colour. Value is actually in reference to the lightness or darkness of a colour and how closely related it is to white or black. In weaving, we often look at colour...
How Does That Loom Work Anyway?
Lots of people have asked me, “What is weaving? What is it that you do? Do you make these?” and “How does that loom work anyway?” Weaving noun the craft or action of forming fabric by interlacing threads. I create fabric luxury fabrics using yarns of different...

Becoming a Weaver
For those of you who might be new to the Weaverbee world I thought I might provide a bit of background about me. I am a Southern Ontario girl having been born and raised in Mississauga. This was back before Burnhamthorpe Rd crossed the Credit River and when there were...
Hidden Birch and Family Traits
When I was very young, my sister and I would put on plays in the backyard with our neighbours. I don’t have a great memory of it because I was really quite young. But I do recall a stage and some sort of curtain. If there was such a thing, I am sure my Dad built it...
What is a stash? And should I “bust” it?
Hopefully if you are following along with this blog you are interested in the question what exactly is a stash? I am not referring to the facial hair of a 70’s or 80’s television actor 😊. Besides we aren’t old enough to know who those would be (are we? I definitely...
Things I Have Learned While Weaving
I will not say that weaving came naturally to me. But I always enjoyed it and have been doing it for over 30 years. My sister is a fantastic painter. She was always creative too. She used to sing and do theatre. But she really began painting as an adult. I am so...
